The film was shot in Ireland and the USA. In Ireland, filming took place in the outskirts of Dublin – in historic areas with narrow streets, cozy cafes, and green parks, creating an atmosphere of warmth and nostalgia. In the USA, work was done in New York, where the dynamic cityscape, iconic buildings, and bustling streets gave the project a modern look. Carefully chosen locations enhanced the emotional impact of the film. The locations perfectly complemented the picture, adding shine.
